Home-made G25 (H-pattern) on GTR2 Nurburgring Nordschliefe

Karl Watt (real-life Evo-6 TME driver) drives the surprisingly much slower HKS Evo 9 round the 'ring in my home-made G25-style driving sim created from the wreck that was my Mk6 Escort-van, and a few bits of wood I found in my garage, plus a 'Joywarrior' MOD A8-16 input module. The seat is from my dead Nissan 200SX, game is running on my Acer Aspire 9920 laptop, screen is a 50" Sony, Music is JFK's Whiplash.

Its a work in progress, so its still pretty ugly, but it cost less than £50.

very nice video mate..clever man..take me hat of for u..anyways u know the handbrake u said is from a van does it have the sensor thing to plug like the honda s2000 handbrake? an how much does it cost? thanks mate

The handbrake lever was from the same Escort Van as the pedal gear was taken off. There's a switch on it to activate the handbrake light on the dash, I just used that switch as a 'button' on the controller to activate handbrake in-game. Means its either on or off, but it worked pretty good. A heavy spring to put up some resistance would have made it more realistic, or a potentiometer to make the h-brake more gradual. Cost about £50 in all.

nice setup how much would you chrage to build me one.. lol

[HotrunVideo]

LoL probably more than its worth!! I just couldnt afford a G25 at the time - the rest is just MDF and scrap off old cars. The potentiometers are twitchy and the calibration is a pain in the arse. I'm slowly building another one, so keep an eye out for that!

Cheers Bud, I've ripped it all apart again to rehash it all, just to make it a lot more accurate and heavier duty. :D
